Everett Hotel

Top choice in North Carolina Mountains


This nine-room boutique hotel occupies a century-old building that once housed western North Carolina’s first bank. Beautiful pinewood hallways lead to rooms awash in a mineral-grey palette, with plantation shutters and wonderful dark-stained pinewood ceilings. A fire pit warms the scenic rooftop terrace. Rates include an à la carte breakfast in the excellent house bistro.
